1 … Allow me to pass the greetings of Sister Mireille of Belgium to you. Also, I have asked Pastor Akobé to transcribe the preaching "Shibboleth or blood impact". He has finished it. I am going to read it and you will have that very soon!
2 I also ask you to make donations to Brother Boga Eric and to Brother Yanick Aka, who devoted themselves to this Message and who, every day, care about all those who are abroad. You know that they have families to support and that they are entirely devoted to this ministry but they have no source of income.
3 Well. Now, I would like to answer two questions. There are many, but I would like to answer two of them. The first is: " Brother Philippe, in Revelation 18:10 to 13, souls of men are part of the lading the Catholic church sold. How was this possible? How can one sell souls of men for that to be bought with money!". And that’s what will be the subject of my preaching this evening.
4 Very well, soul sellers! Revelation 18:10 to 13. I want to take this as the title of this evening’s exhortation. Soul sellers! Brethren, it is not only about the Catholic church but also about her daughters, that is to say the Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist churches, including the missions and ministries. You must know that it is by selling those souls to the State that the Catholic church receives wages, subsidies and presents. And all the churches of the earth are now in that spirit like their mother, the Catholic church.
5 And when a pastor sends letters over the world or goes on the internet and writes things like, "I have a church of such a number of people, I need funding, we would like to do this and that…the souls are poor in Africa, so on, ...", they are soul sellers! And they sell those souls to homosexuals, to pervert men in the world because those who follow them are sons of the devil and they follow them because their names are not written in the book of Life of the Lamb before the foundation of the world. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
6 If you are really a son of God, you will never be in a Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or Branhamist church for your soul to be sold with money. All those Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist leaders that you see, they are soul sellers. They sell the souls to the politicians, to the homosexuals in the world because the revelation indicates that in the time in which we are living, they will do that.
7 We are in the times of Sodom and Gomorrah. You can see the leader of a church who claims to be in sanctification sitting with politicians, sitting with some other church leaders with whom they don’t have the same faith. What’s this? He’s sold the souls of his church members on the altar of hypocrisy and worldliness, of politics and homosexuality. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. When a Methodist church joins the United Methodist church on the international level, there has been some soul-selling! When a small innocent church, starts fraternizing with a big church somewhere, his leader has sold the souls of his church members! What is sad is that most of the time the church members do not even know what is going on. So it is the highest form of sorcery that exists. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
8 And Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Doug Batchelor, Billy Graham, Edir Macedo, Valdemiro Santiago, Silas Malafaia, Paula White and Joyce Meyer and all those that you see, they were sellers of the gospel and Jesus Christ and the Bible were there as goods and the inhabitants of the earth were invited as customers. And now they are soul sellers!
9 And Chris Oyakhilome, David Owuor, Emmanuel Makandiwa, Uebert Angel, T. B. Joshua, David Oyedepo, Alberto Mottesi, Claudio Freidzon, Dante Gebel and all those you see, are soul sellers! They were sellers of the gospel and Jesus Christ and the Bible were there as goods and the inhabitants of the earth were invited as customers and now they are soul sellers! And Benny Hinn, Manasseh Jordan, Jesse Jackson, John Hagee, Pat Robertson, Joaquim Gonçalves, Donald Parnell, Alejandro Bullón Guillermo Maldonado and all those that you see, they are soul sellers!
10 The Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ were there as goods and the inhabitants of the earth were as customers and now, they are soul sellers! They have finished selling the gospel and now they are selling the souls of their church members to politicians, to homosexuals in the world and soon, they will all go into homosexuality and homosexuals will sit in their midst. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
11 At first, they will say, "Oh, we don’t want to accept that! We cannot accept that! We are against that!" And at a certain time, they will say, "Oh, they can be in our midst, they can sit in our midst, but they cannot be pastors." And later, they will accept that.
12 And then, some homosexuals will be Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist priests and pastors. You say, "Oh Prophet Kacou Philippe, that can never be possible. I will never accept that!" I tell you that you will accept that. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
13 You, Catholics, one day, you are going to sit on the same bench with a homosexual Catholic priest. You, Protestants, one day, you are going to sit on the same bench with a homosexual Protestant leader. You, evangelicals, one day, you are going to sit down with homosexual evangelical leaders. And you Branhamists, one day, some homosexual pastors and preachers will stand there, in the pulpit, to preach to you and you will accept that.
14 Homosexuals will parade in your cities and villages and you will find that normal. Why? Because you are sons and daughters of the devil and because you have rejected the living prophet of your time. I don’t know how that will happen but Satan will do it and you will accept that. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
15 Now, I come to the second question. The second question is a bit long. It is written: "Brother Philippe, I believe that God cannot use two prophets of first importance on the earth at the same time, but how can we explain Ezra 5:1 where it is said that Haggai and Zechariah prophesied both at the same time? Somebody asked it to me and I did not know how to explain it, but I have not doubted the fact that God cannot use two prophets of first importance at the same time on earth!"
16 That’s very good Brother! Recently, I checked that in the Bible and I saw that God addressed for the first time the Word to Haggai the first day of the sixth month of the year 519 and for the last time in the ninth month of that same year 519. In all, according to the Bible, God spoke to him only for four months. As for Zechariah, God spoke to him for the first time in the eighth month of that year 519 and after that, it was him that God used over several years. It is the same thing for John the Baptist and The Lord Jesus Christ, for Peter and Paul and many other prophets in the Old Testament!
17 Everything that you see in the Old Testament has a meaning: the fact that God speaks to this one and speaks to another one and comes back to speak to him; the fact that God raises up a prophet, and no longer raises up any prophet, suddenly raises up several prophets, no longer raises up any prophet, raises up one or many prophets, Ezekiel and Daniel in deportation, on the lands of the nations, all that has a higher meaning than the small comparisons of theology that you make.
18 Remember the four living creatures! If all the great theologians in the world put themselves on one side to interpret the Bible, it is the devil. They can pray before starting and even during the prayer, some prophecies can come out saying, "Thus saith the Lord: I am the Lord Jesus Christ, your God. For proof: I am with you in this work, tomorrow at this hour, it shall rain!" Brethren, even if the following day, at the indicated time, it rains, it is the devil! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. It is 1 Kings 22:20 to 22! And do not be afraid to burn the result they will produce! The whole world united cannot reach the prophet messenger who walks with an Angel! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
19 Without God, knowledge is useless! All those preachings based on concordances and comparison of verses, it is not the Word of God. The Word of God is what it pleased God to give the living prophet of this generation. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. What Isaiah or Jeremiah said, that cannot save a Jew in the time of the Lord Jesus Christ.
20 And the Lord Jesus Christ said, "You search the scriptures, for you think that in them you have the eternal Life and they it is which bear witness concerning me." And it’s the same today. If you believe that by following what the Bible says you go to Heaven, know that you are in seduction. The book of Life for your time, it is the Message that is brought by the living prophet of your time. And without the living prophet of your time, know that you’re walking in darkness. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
21 Now, let’s come back to our subject. I think that you paid attention to one of those newspapers after the great and historic conference of March 29, 2008. There was on the headlines, "A prophet STRIPS OFF the men of God ". About three thousand years ago, in the time of Prophet Elijah, one could read in the newspaper, "A prophet SLAUGHTERS the men of God".
22 How could only one man slaughter the men of God of a whole nation whereas each one of them has his church and is under the protection of Ahab and Jezebel? How could only one man strip off all the men of God of a nation? Isn’t history repeating itself? [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. You see? And they put the word "STRIPS OFF" in another colour, to call the attention of those who know that one day, a prophet had slaughtered the so-called men of God of his time.
23 And another journalist, having seen and heard all that occurred at that conference and how I answered the questions of all those people, wrote, "The masterliness of the prophet". Yes, he is the maestro, the maestro of the Word. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
24 That day, I preached after reading only one verse, Matthew 25:6, symbolically and I answered the tens of questions from the press, the religious leaders, the presidents of parliaments and agorae and the public without opening the Bible not even once and I rarely quoted a verse of the Bible. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. Why? Because the Bible says that prophets are the testimony of Jesus Christ. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
25 To end, bear in mind that the devil is developing a new thought throughout the world and there are now several people expressing that. This is why, I felt obliged to talk about it this evening. What is it? They say, "We can see that the Message is true and we really want to carry it here in our country but in the long run, won’t the prophet be venerated as Branhamists do with William Branham"? I wonder whether those who have the courage to say such things really have a ministry! If you have a ministry, then you are a guardian of the Word. And it belongs to you to make so that it won’t be thus and that that veneration never comes.
26 The ministries of Ephesians 4:11 are guarantors and guardians of the Word. And if God reveals to him that the Message is true and there is Life in it but that in the long run, the prophet will be venerated, he will see that he has a heavy responsibility to hinder such "a demon of veneration!". Even if this thought is to come to pass but that this Message is true, I will believe in order to hinder the children of the devil who will try to do that! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
27 What would it be if in Numbers 21:8 to 9, Moses said to God, "I do not want to make the serpent of brass for fear that the children of the devil should venerate it and burn incense to it!" How would people be healed when they were bitten by fiery snakes? What would it be if Joshua and Caleb said to Moses, "You are a true prophet but we refuse to come with you because in the long run, the Pharisees and Sadducees will set down in your seat"?
28 When in Acts 21, Agabus said: the man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of the Gentiles, did not Paul go to Jerusalem? You see? There is a lot of examples! You should rather say that it is your argument to reject the Message if not it is somebody who has no ministry nor character who can say that! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
29 On April 24, 1993, not my body but my soul was brought near the Angel and the Lamb who were standing over the waters and these waters are the races, the peoples, the languages, and the nations of all the earth. Nobody else was on the waters except the Angel, the Lamb and me. Pope Benedict XVI was not there. Billy Paul and Joseph Branham were not there. Tommy Osborn, Morris Cerullo, Benny Hinn and Reinhard Bonnke were not there! And if this vision comes therefore from God, this Message will spread over all the earth and it will cause all your statues of Dagon that you call Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist churches to tremble. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
30 No matter how great you will be on earth, whatever your ministry, your experiences and others, you are part of the waters and the devil must not make you believe that I am trying to bring everyone to me, but I am the prophet by whom you must be saved, you Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals and Branhamists. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
31 Now, I’m going to come to another point. It can happen that somebody confuses the soul and the body, or he can even see it this way as it was the case of John in Revelation 19:10 but he was simply told not to do it. It all depends on what John had seen through this ministry of which we do not know yet the end. Notice everything that has been fulfilled, not to mention what could happen.
32 I take an example: God married Israel; Israel means "married to God". And after seven years, the seven ages of the law, at the time of the glory and the spiritual phase, He turns away from Israel who suffered so much since Egypt, the desert, the wars, the deportations, the famines, and others. He turns to the nations to take the Bride that He will purify, make white and refine for the marriage. Why? Because Israel is a hypocrite, prostitute and only God knew it.
33 And like Israel, if somebody does not want to believe that, let him keep very far, to deal with his trade of souls! Let him not come here with thoughts of discrepancy! And especially to call into question things that we have gone past. You see?
34 Here in Ivory Coast, some people came, pastors and preachers, some with fifteen, twenty and even twenty-five years of experience or ministry saying, "We entirely believe but we do not think that we should be re-baptised because we come from William Branham’s Message!" No matter your sincerity, I think that this is provocation. Keep very far and I do noteven see myself giving an explanation other than what is in this book. You see? [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
35 I am happy to see here Brother Zadi Robert. He spent thirty-four years in William Branham’s Message! He came to William Branham’s Message in 1974 when I was just a baby. His name is listed among the very first actors of William Branham’s Message in Ivory Coast.
36 And I am going to read an extract of his testimony. He says,"… In 1974, I distributed Brother Branham’s brochures to the Baptist church where I was and that was what I did when I came to the Message of Brother Branham in 1974 when I received the missionary Janson Daniel… I belonged to the assembly of Abidjan, the great temple that was led by Bédji Stanislas and which is now led by Bady, Sombo and others… I received the midnight Cry Message on November 27, 2006,and as I mastered Brother Branham’s Message, that enabled me to believe when I read only the three visions of the call of Prophet Kacou Philippe. I met the prophet on December 2, and I got baptised on the following day, December 3, of that same year 2006… ". You see?
37 I am therefore not distracted by 40- or 50-year experiences! If you are great like the Lord Jesus Christ, you will come to humble yourselves before John the Baptist, and if you have understood the Message of your master William Branham, you will humble yourself like Apollos before the small Paul in Acts 19. Even if it was John the Baptist himself, the man who baptised Jesus Christ who baptised you, you will humble yourself again if you are still alive till Paul’s time and Paul will re-baptise you!
38 Even if the Lord Jesus Christ Himself or an angel audibly spoke to you, you will humble yourself before ProphetKacou Philippe to be baptised because he is the living prophet of your time. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. And if you are a real son of God, you will leave those soul sellers and come to the living prophet of your time. And if you reject that, you have signed your own condemnation on the day of the judgment. For this voice that you are hearing, this voice that is speaking to you, it is this voice that will speak to you on the day of the judgment before God. And he that has ears to hear, let him hear!
